A Chic. 1go correspondent inter
viewed Elk Senator Jos. E. Nc
Donald of L Indiana last week upon
some of the ssues of the day and
gathered thes 3 opinions from him:
cleveland will undoubtedly be
the nominee of the Democratic
convention. His nomination and
election were experiments the first
time. As for the tariff the Ohio
resolutions meet my ideas pretty
well. Everyone knows that there
is too heavy surplus in the treas
ury, and it is constantly increas-
ing. l believe that the internal
revenue system is nearly right. l
would remove the tax on tobacco,
but would maintain the tax on beer
and liquor. The internal revenue
must be the basis of our reform
policy, and from this our country
must receive its supplies Custom
duties should be taken off the nee
essities of life and what is called
raw material. Everything that
enters into the manufacture of
necessary articles should be put
upon the free list. Material that
requires labor in its work should
be free. Luxuries should remain
on the list. 1 am not a destruc-
tive free-trader. I'd have you
know l would not touch the iron
schedule at present. The Morri-
son bill that was reported fayora-
ably by the ways and means COM
mittee was a good one, and would
have come very close to my idea.
1 think it was a fair bill. l think
this country is destined to be one
of the greatest manufacturing cen
tiers of the world. For that reason,
l would not interfere with the pro-
lection of manufactures, at present
but the tax on coal should be re-
moved. Three quarters of all
the coal in the world S in
this country, and 1 believe it
should be free to enter. The great
question of the day is cheap fuel,
and the government should do all
it can to solve the question. There
is no reason why the United
States should not compete with
the rest of the world successfully"

The Farmers Alliance.

In speaking, one day, of the
Farmers Alliance, which origin
ated in Texas and has spread
thence to all neighboring Gulf
States, The Times-Democrat ex-
pressed its opinion that the pur-
pose of the association were gen.
orally excellent and most of them
practicable; and that it had a fine
field if it confined itself to its leg
itimate business-the improve
ment of the condition of the farm
ers. We ventured the further
opinion that if, on the other hand,
it deserted this legitimate and
promising field and became mixed
up in other matters and antago-
nized other interests; this might
defeat the great objects it has in
view. Here is a case in point:
The Farmers Alliance Of several
counties in the Gulf States have
determined to hold primaries and
nominate political tickets for
county and district officers.
The result of this plan must be
unfortunate. 1t makes little DIFF
ference whether the Alliance tick
cts are successful or defeated.
The moment the association goes
into politics and commences to
nominate candidates, it will be-
gin to make enemies, to arouse an
tagonisms it would otherwise new
er have known, and to create dis
senslons within its own ranks.
The unfortunate disposition shown
in this country to carry all ques-
tons into politics has been the
ruin of many a good movement.
The farmers of Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Mississippi are
strong enough to get such legis-
lation as they need; and when
they organize separately and nom
mate purely agricultural tickets,
the natural result will be to arouse
other interests in opposition to
them, their tickets and their de-
mands.
The Farmers Alliance has cut out
big undertaking for itself in the
many reforms and changes which
it is seeking to bring about in the
transaction of agricultural bust
ness. 1t has herculean task be-
fore it, without seeking, at the
same time, to interfere with and
control politics. Any class pol
itics is bad, and the class which
organizes separately almost inva-
riably finds itself opposed by a
combination of the other classes.
1t is to be hoped, for its own
success, that the Farmers Alliance
and its subordinate lodges will
confne themselves to the indus
trial enterprises they have under
taken, instead of embarking IL
the stormy sea of politics, which
has wrecked so many other prom,
Using organizations. o. Times

So long as the present rush OF
cattle to the market continues the
present low prices will continue
put sooner or later the reaction
must come and then those who have
been able to hold over will be in a
good condition to supply those who
are so fond of unloading their
money when they they can get the
least for it and their stock in the
same way. But as Josh Billings
says: "God bless the fools and
don't let the stock run out, for il
it wasn't for them the wise men
couldn't live Texas Stockman
Life is Cumbersome, alike to the sufferer
and all around him, while dyspepsia ant
its attending evils hold sway. Complaints
Of this nature can be speedily cured by ia
king Priclxly Ash Bitters regularly. Thous
ands once thus afflicted now bear cheerfu
testimony as to its merits.

There are some who are ungentle-
manly as to pitch fire brands and
make scurilous attacts upon us be-
cause we see fit to speak out our un-
vanished sentiments, have opinions
and ideas Qf our own, a{ld express
our minds upon a question that has
been submitted to the qualified elect
ors of Graham county to settle as free
people. In this political ''hub-bub,"
if we chose to be on one side or the
other it is our prerogative and that
right we most assuradly hold in re-
serve. We are not running this pa
per in the interest of any county
seat fight or any cliqH9 or clan, and
we donot propose to be duped swag-
CARED by the vituperdtious and i'll
gotten spleen issued upon our heads
by scabby politicians, rag tails and
dirty county seat agitators who maj
cross our pathway and who stand
year in and year out gasping for
fear the Yexed county se4t question
might at least be settled and they
be compelled and driven to do one
honest days toll instead of putting
up political pins, bleeding candidates
and cheating the people in general.
Now the fight is between good
honest farmers on the one side and
broken down politicians, persistent
Office seekers, and "town buns" on
the other. This paper is the organ
of the farmers and taxpayers of this
county, first, last and all the time,
and it will not suffer itself to be cor
nered off and held in allegiance by
any individual, party, or parties, of
whatsoever kind to the detriment OF
the farmers OF Graham county, for
when his rights ere III jeopardy,
duty calls and we will obey. We
look at this matter from q standpoint
of "best good and interests" to the
farmer and him justified in the same,
and We then violate 10 principle Of
true Republican doctrine. We say
down on cranky Office seekers, set
down on both the county seat rings,
set down on bum politicians, schem-
ers, and county seat agitators; lay
the county seat question aside and

"TH]E FORTY THIEVES"
THE JUsTUs-H1LL OUTRAGE ON THE
REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF WILD
HORSE TOWNRHIP FULLY
AND TRUTHFULLY
EXPLAINED,


Ed. ENTERPRISE
At tie 50 called jim Justus con
vention] held in Terrells town, on
the 8th'to nominate candidates for
county officers, worse crimes were
committed against the suffrage of
the Republican, voters of Graham
county than was ever before at
tempted, ard it was undoubtedly the
most corrupt and dishonorable con-
vention ever held in the county.
township delegates duly and law.
fully elected by the people of their
respective townships were refused
seats in tlle convention and Others
who never elected BY anyone weIe
seated delegates.
One Of their most outrageous acts
was t4eir treatment q the Wild
Horse delegation by the convention,
seating the delegation whose so call
ed authority to act was signed by
one &. Grimm, caAing himself cen
tra4 committeeman. The statement
of facts, in this case, before the COM
mittee Oh credentials and agreed to
by both delegations as true, are as
follows: That ct II O'Clock, (noon)
2 hours before the time mentioned in
the GIL, about is voters met at the
voting place in Wild Horse township
and were called to order by F, Grimm
and proceeded to elect John Clark
chairman and Irwin Eaks secretary,
and after the preliminaries were
gone through with a vote was taken
10 elect delegates to the convention,
and their chairman, Mr.. Clark, de-
cided the vote tie, no one being
elected. and their chairman and sec
rotary refused to sign their creden-
tails, they all left fer home without
even adjourling the meeting and
Grimm signed credentials for him
self and three others, calling him
self committeeman, q position he
never filled.
At2 o'clock, the proper time, 90
Republican voters of the township
met at the same place and proceeded
to elect r. r. Chess as chairman,
and ". H. Franks as secretary.
After necessary preliminaries, the
delegation headed by n. D. Minor
were elected by a vote OFF, to 2, and
their credentials signed by the chair
man and secretary.
These facts being stated to the
committee on credentials and adj
mitted by both sides as true, yet
in the faca of all of this the said
committee seated the bogus delega-
ton certified to by Grimm. When
the matter was appealed to the con-
vention the tree delegates were flat
" denied q hearing.
After this and the unjust decision
in other townships was announced,
the delegates who were inclined to
be fair and honest withdrew from
such a gang of political thives.
Any candidate who would stoop
so low as to use such means to steal
a nomination and over ride the will
Of the people of his own party, would
steal the peoples money if they get
the chance. The time has come
when candidates for Office should be
taught that the will of the people
must prevail and that a nomonation
secured by fraud and trickery is of
no value, and that Repubicanism
means fairness and honesty.
